FOUNDATION FOR PUMPS.

Application filed November 15, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that We, HENRY GESELBRACHT and HARLEE! GESELBRACHT, citizens of the United States, residing at Scales Mound, in the county of Jo Daviess and State of Illinols, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Foundations for Pumps, of Which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a foundation or support for'a pu'mpstock and more p articularly to that class of supports that provide against the entrance of rats and other ver min to the well.

The object of the nvention is to provide a device of the above described that provides for the removal of the pump stock or foundation without injury to the foundation.

Another object of the invention is to revide a device of the kind described that is efiicient in operation and consists minimum number of parts.

With the above and other objects in view of the this invention consists of certain novel com-- blnations, constructions, and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing :Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved device in engagement with a pump stock. Fig. 2 is a vertical'section taken through the base of the pump. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the base used with this device.

Referring to the parts by numerals 1O designates a stock of the pump of the ordinary kind having an enlarged head 11 at its lower end, said head 11 being provided with. apertures 12 adjacent the outer edges of said head. In a concrete base 13 is positioned a support comprising a substantially 14 having a retaining flange 15 at its lower end and at its upper end an enlarged supporting flange 16. Arranged in groups in the flange 16 are radiating elongated apertures 17. ,This base has its lower portion embedded in the concrete 13 as s own in Figs. 1 and 2, and by means of the substantially conical bodylt and the flange 15 the support is held very securely passed the bolts 18 that h 5* Specification of Letters Patent.

and the apertures 12 formed in the head 11 are adapted to register elongated radiating slots Through these alined slots and openings are are the nuts 19 threaded upon their upper pump stock on the support.

It will be seen from the foregoing description and by referring to the drawings that the upper portion of the support for the stock of a pump is positioned above the upper end of the concrete foundation 13 so as to al ow .the pump stock 10 to be removed from the support without any injury to the concrete foundation 1S. Anoth tained by this device is that if for any reason the pump stock would have to be placed in a different position from that of its original mounting the device can be easily removed and the apertures 12 be placed into alinement with different slots 17 than they had previously been and the bolts can be passed through and nuts secured to them and the device be as secure as ever and in no way injure the concrete base 13 to say nothing of the time and expense saved in removing the stock and replacing the same.

It is obvious that minor changes may be made in the form and construction of this invention Without departing from the spirit thereof. I t fine the invention to the exact form herein shown and described, but it is wished to include all such as properly come within the scope claimed.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is:

1. In combination with a pump stock provided with an enlarged head at the lower end thereof, of a support comprising a substantially conical bodvhaving a retaining flange at one end and a supporting flange at the opposite end, said. supporting flange provided with a plurality of radiating clongatcd slots, said head of said stock provided with apertures adapted to be placed in alinement with some of said slots formed in the end to secure the er object oloflange of said support, and means passing through said alined apertures and slots for hoiding said stock upon said support.

2. A support for a pump stock coinpris ing a substantially conical shaped body portion, a retaining flange at the bottom of said conical body portion, an enlarged supporting flange at the upper end of said support, said last mentioned flange provided with a series of radiating elongated apertures, and 10 a foundation for said support.

In testimony whereof we hereunto aflix our signatures in presence of two Witnesses. HENRY GESELBRACHT.
